Market Deeping mum gets ready to open The Ark Health, Wellbeing and Play Hub




A mother has been busy getting her business ready for opening - with an eight-week-old baby on her hip.

Sarah Sparkes, who lives in Market Deeping, will be opening The Ark Health, Wellbeing and Play Hub on Monday, October 31, for families to enjoy.

Located in Stamford Road, the business is made up of three concepts. Ivy’s Den is a cosmetic room, Wonderland is a function room that may be holding yoga and group baby sessions and Mr T’s Diner will offer a selection of refreshments with a soft play area for children.

Sarah said: “I moved from Stamford to Market Deeping when I had my first child and quickly realised there was not a lot for children to do here.

“I wanted to create a hub to keep parents healthy.”

She has been making the most of times when her eight-week-old baby is sleeping to paint the walls inside the business and get things ready in time for opening in just over a week.

The business will be open from 9am until 2.30pm every day, apart from Wednesday to allow time for cleaning the soft play area.

Groups will be taking place in Wonderland and although nothing is set in stone, Sarah is hoping to host some yoga sessions, baby groups and people can also rent the room for private functions.

“I am so excited for the opening, we have had lots of positive feedback saying this is something that Deeping definitely lacked,” Sarah said.

“There is still lots to do before the big opening but putting a date on it has helped to speed things along.”

She added the only negative feedback she had received so far was over concerns there is no parking available.

Given the business is close to the town centre, Sarah feels this will not be a huge issue as visitors can make use of the parking facilities there if necessary.
